I found some cheap airfare to Hawaii from NYC in July and August '09. I originally used ITA Software, and found $437 round trip tix on AA.
I thought pricing might be coming down since July & August are not prime Hawaii travel times, plus the fact that the cost of oil has more than dropped 50% from it's high.
The problem is that it's really a come on since there are a very limited number of seats. That in itself, while understandable, is still annoying. However what really pissed me off was that the limited number of seats were not per fllight but total by destination! In other words the serach engines - including AA's own engine would show at least 2 of these economy tickets available to HNL for 6 different flights- but when I put 2 on hold all the others dissappeared on all the other 5 flights!
Do they stay awake at night trying to think of new ways to irritate us?
